Does anyone have experience with a program that makes high quality
maps for races? We are looking for course distance and a profile. Thanks. Mike

I know one of the best American O-cartographers who would be disappointed to learn about this. Last I talked to him he had 0CAD and would use it if requested, but much preferred his own custom setup on Macintosh. In the end the software is just another tool. The quality of the map is much more due to the talent of the cartographer. -Mitch

I really didn't know about that, all the maps I've seen for several years have had OCAD tags on them. :-) In the end the software is just another tool. The quality of the map is much more due to the talent of the cartographer. As well as due to the talents of the original stereo photo analyst who makes the base map, as well as the field surveyor (who is often the same person as the cartographer).
